Mastery of Memory and Thinking

The very essence of human memory consists in the fact that human beings actively remember with the help of signs. It may be said that the basic characteristic of human behavior in general is that humans personally influence their relations with the environment and through that environment personally change their behavior, subjugating it to their control.

Based on the data we obtained from several series of experiments carried out by my colleagues and myself about the function of speech in reorganizing perception and creating new relations among psychological functions, we are able to describe in schematic form the basic laws that characterize the structure and development of the child‘s sign operations. These will be presented through a discussion of memory, which is exceptionally appropriate for study of the changes that signs introduce into basic psychological functions because it clearly reveals the social origin of signs as well as their crucial role in the individual’s development.
